Summer Scuba courses
Scuba
17-24 May, Egypt
The Scuba course is a great opportunity for those with spinal cord injury to gain a PADI diving qualifications in fantastic surroundings to be able to dive independently. The course is run at the Camel Dive Club, a dive school and hotel based in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt. Established over 15 years ago, Camel is a very experienced provider for disabled diver training and attracts disabled groups form all over the world who wants to participate in the sport. The whole resort and town in general has great facilities.
As with many of the courses the Scuba course is not just a chance to dive and enjoy the under water beauty, but a chance perhaps to travel overseas for the first time with a group that has over 20 years experience with helping spinal cord injured participants overcome the additional challenges of air travel and being in another country. The course is run over seven days with the first couple spent in the pool completing your theory and practical sessions, before heading in to the calm, clear waters. The group is comprised of six people with spinal injury and six buddies.
Buddies will dive with spinally injured divers, learning a new skill and generally helping where needed. Buddies will need to provide both physical assistance but more importantly invaluable moral support when everyone is learning together. Carers or Nurses will be provided if needed. Participants must have the ok to dive from the diving doctor.
